IMPROVEMENT IN REGULATOR FOR TIME-PIEGES.

at: 5:11am! marsh tt in these Etrtters intent ma mating and of flge same.

TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Be it known that I, SAMUEL F. ESTELL, of the city of Richmond, and State of Indiana, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Regulators for Time-Pieces; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, making a part of this specification, in which Figure 1 is a View of the regulator and immediate parts.

Figure 2 is a view of the parts embraced in the invention.

The same letters in diflerent figures refer to corresponding parts of the invention.

To enable others skilledin the art to make and use my invention, I will proceed to describe its construction and operation. l

A represents the crown covering the balance\\'l1eel 0 represents the regulating-lever pivoted on the cap or eollet H, and is connected to the hair-spring by pin S; F represents a screw, having a. head, B, for convenience in turningsaid screw; E represents a nut on screw F, having a projection that engages with the end of lever C, and the latter is thus moved by turning screw F. In order to give the regulator free action, the end of lever C is slotted, in which slot the projection of nut E operates, and thus is allowed to move in a straight line, while the end of lever 0 describes an arc.

Having thus fully described my said invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The combination of the regulating-lever C, having a slotted end, in combination with screw F and nut E, substantially as described, and for the purpose set forth,

SAML F. ESTELL.
